Day One: Recap of the Masters...

Day one of the Masters has come and gone.Some surprises, some confusion, some really
nice long putts and our 2013 Champion in the running.I would have to say that Thursday Round 1 was
considered a success.Surprisingly was
the way the field took to the course on round one.I was shocked at the number of players with
80+ scores.Thursday proved to be a
difficult test for all participates.

Bill Haas fired an impressive opening round 68 to hold the
first-round lead all by himself. Haas bogeyed the opening hole, but played his
final 17 at 5-under to grab the clubhouse lead after day one. The most exciting part of the day was when previous
champions Adam Scott and Bubba Watson came in with a 3 under score.

I was happy to see the following names: Rory McIlroy, Jordan
Spieth, Fred Couples and Rickie Fowler that were also able to post an opening
round under par, getting themselves in a great spot with 54 holes remaining.They have all been featured on my blog at
some point.I would really like to see
Jordan and Rickie fire low rounds going into the weekend.

Hole # 12 the beautiful par 3 proved to be a challenge for
the boys on Thursday.Adam Scott found
the water and made a double-bogey, Oosthuizen couldn't avoid the water on the
par-3 and even McIlroy, who found the green, three-putted for a water-free
bogey.

I can hardly wait what the next three days brings for
us!Look forward to taking it all in
stride.
